Women are more likely than men to start heavy drinking later in life.
The primary reason that women metabolize alcohol more slowly than men because there is a smaller amount of the alcohol metabolizing enzyme dehydrogenase in the stomach in women. Because less of this enzyme is present, more alcohol passes through the stomach to the duodenum, which is the main alcohol-absorbing portion of the gut.
Adolescents, age 12 to 17, who consume alcohol are more likely to report behavioral problems, especially aggressive, delinquent and criminal behaviors.
The primary function of the area of the brain which is known as the cortex is to maintain control over the rest of the brain; this area of the brain is depressed with the presence of even low doses of alcohol. This helps to explain why a person that is drinking is less inhibited and may have a loss of control over judgment.
